Keen on getting a 170/177 350 Big Ride Hub. Madison say they’ve only just been released in Europe, no eta for UK.

Can’t see them for sale anywhere in Europe, wondering if they’re just round the corner, or if I should bike the bullet and buy from the US with shipping and import duty and tax and all that fun.

Any inside knowledge? 🙂

DT manufacture in the states and in Europe so sometimes stuff will be available over there earlier than over here and vice versa.

Madison can get anything if prodded, ask your LBS to place a special order and they will get it for you but granted probably not as fast as getting it from the states.

I wanted a 240S Lefty hub and they couldn’t.

Have you tried the German sites? Worth a Google.

240s Lefty hubs are in stock at Madison. Someone listened?

Cheers all, I’ve had a good old google. The only places that have the 170/177 width are US or Canadian sites. oOr hits on uk ‘bay from US sellers.

I’ll try LBS and see how they get on.

Must’ve done, but inevitably I haven’t got that bike any more.

LBS say late March/April. RRP = £220 but unconfirmed. £164 in the US, but £250 delivered and taxed to the UK.

Cheers hatter!
